why does she do this!?

My poor DD, she is 2 and about a month ago, she starting twirling her hair, usually toward the top of her head. She use to do it, when she was bored or tired, now she is constantly doing it. It's gotten to the point were she literately gets her finger stuck in her head, because she twirled it in a tight knot to her scalp!! I took her on a walk the other day, and had to stop twice because she is crying that her "finner is tuck" lol ugh she is something else!! No matter what I do, she wont stop.. When I see her do it, I say "no,no don't play with your hair" and I put her hair in a ponytail.. but she just takes it out. I hope she gets over this stage soon!!

eventually she will get to the point where she will be able to tie a knot in her hair that will come right back out.... lol

make sure you use lots of conditioner on her hair, helps the knots come out easier... other than that, i have no solutions.. i have "twirled" my hair all my life. (and i'm turning 50 this year) But i have also always had long hair....

I do put lots on conditioner in her hair, because of this! She twirls it in very tight knots.. one day we were going to wal-mart.. she was doing her usual hair twirling, and she fell asleep!! When i got to wal-mart and went to go take her out of the car, I realized her poor little finger was tightly stuck in her hair, her circulation was getting cut off, the tip of her finger was purple!! How she could sleep like that is beyond me!?
